Description
Summary:Electronic warfare (EW) is one of the most important characteristics of modern battles. EW can affect a military force's use of the electromagnetic spectrum to detect targets or to provide information. Recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI) suggest that this emerging technology will have a deterministic and potentially transformative influence on military power. AI driven algorithms can be very effective in diverse domain of EW like processing of radar signals for efficient recognition and classification of emitters, detection of jammer and its characteristics and for developing efficient anti-jamming algorithms. AI techniques can also enable an EW system to operate autonomously. This paper provides a description of various branches of EW, the role of AI in EW systems and different AI techniques that have been deployed in EW systems.
